INT ODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing General Tools & Instruments’ DCS1100 High-

Performance Video Borescope System with 4.9mm Diameter Switchable

Front/Side View Flexible-Obedient Probe. Please read this user’s manual

carefully and thoroughly before using the system.

The standard DCS1100 system consists of a handheld display unit/controller

(the handle) connected to General’s P1618FS-49 Switchable Front/Side View

Probe (the probe). The handle also can be connected to any high-performance

probe for General’s DCS1600 High-Performance, Recording Borescope System.

Among them are:

• Slim (5.5mm diameter) soft metal and flexible-obedient probes

of various lengths up to 30m (98 ft.)

• 6mm diameter articulating probes of two different lengths

(1m and 2m)

• An ultra-slim (3.9mm) flexible-obedient probe that is thin enough to

fit inside the spark plug hole of a gasoline engine or the glow plug

hole of a diesel engine

All of the above probes have superior optical performance specifications,

including a depth of field of 10 to 60mm (0.4 to 2.4 in.) and a minimal focal

length of 38mm (1.5 in.) for very close-up viewing of areas of interest. See the

Optional Accessories section of this manual for part numbers, and then visit

http://www.generaltools.com or call 212-431-6100 to order.

Ideally suited for aircraft/automotive inspection, maintenance and repair or for

government/security/military tasks, the DCS1100 system also can handle a

wide variety of less-demanding industrial tasks—such as inspecting buildings

for mold, leaks or pests; inspecting ducts and pipelines for corrosion or leaks;

and reading parts and serial numbers of equipment. The DCS1100 offers a

cost-effective way for technicians, mechanics, contractors and repairmen to

visually inspect inaccessible or hazardous areas and thus diagnose hidden

system problems without the need for a complete disassembly or teardown.

KEY FEATU ES

• Super-slim 4.9mm (0.193 in.) diameter x 1m long high-performance

P1618FS-49 switchable front/side view probe with two separate

cameras and light sources

• 2.4-inch (diagonal) thin-film transistor (TFT) CD with a resolution of

320 x 240 pixels

• Separate controls for brightness up and down, and 1.5X

zooming/mirroring of video

• Video Out jack for connecting to a computer monitor or TV

• Powered by four “AA” batteries

SAFETY INST UCTIONS

Although the high-performance probes that attach to the DCS1100 are water,

dust and oil-proof, never insert them into any flammable gas or liquid (including

fuels in an oil, gasoline or diesel tank). Also remember that the probes are not

electrically insulated, so never bring them into contact with exposed AC wiring.

The DCS1100 is intended for industrial use only. Do not use it for human or any

other biological inspections.

WHAT’S IN THE CASE

The DCS1100 system comes fully assembled in a custom hard carrying case

along with a 6 ft. video cable and this user’s manual.

SETUP INST UCTIONS

INSTALL 4 BATTERIES

To open the battery compartment (on

the back of the handle), lift up the semi-

circular metal ring on the screw in the

recess at the bottom of the plastic

compartment cover. Using the ring as a

crank, turn the screw counterclockwise until the cover loosens. Pulling on the

ring, pop the battery compartment open to expose the batteries.

Install four new “AA” batteries, using the

+ and – marks inside the battery

compartment as a guide. Close the

battery compartment cover and secure

it by using the ring to turn the screw

clockwise. Finally, push the ring over so

it is flush with the top of the screw in the recess.

ATTACHING AN OPTIONAL HIGH-PERFORMANCE PROBE

To replace the included front/side view probe with another compatible high-

performance probe from General, first detach the front/side view probe from

the handle by turning its collar counterclockwise and pulling the probe straight

out and away.

To attach the new probe, plug its connector into the handle’s probe socket. The

probe and the handle mate in only one way: when the red dot under the collar

on the end of the probe is aligned with the flat on the probe socket. After

orienting the new probe, push its connector into the socket and tighten the

collar by turning it clockwise.

Whether you use the included probe or an optional probe, remember to remove

the protective rubber cap from its camera end before using it.

OPE ATING INST UCTIONS

POWER ON THE SYSTEM

To power on the DCS1100, press the

black rubber button with the icon on

the top of the grip and hold it for five

seconds. A green light at the bottom of

the button will illuminate. The word

“READY” will appear inside a box in the middle of the display.

At the upper right of the display a green icon indicating the level of

battery charge will appear.

(To power off the DCS1100, press the button and hold it for five seconds

until the green light at the bottom of the button extinguishes.)

NORMAL OPERATION

To use the DCS1100, point the camera end of the probe at the area or object of

interest. ive video will appear on the display.

To change the view of the front/side view probe, toggle the view switch

(see Figure 2).

To change the brightness of the display, press the or button repeatedly

until the screen is at the optimum brightness for your environment. Each click

of the buttons increases or decreases the brightness by one step. Maximum

brightness is indicated by a “15” at the bottom of the screen. Minimum

brightness is indicated by a “0”.

To magnify (zoom in on) the display by a factor of 50% (1.5X zoom), press

the button. The display will show a magnified version of the live video seen

by the probe, and the word “ZOOM” will appear on the bottom of the display for

five seconds.

To zoom out to the default size,

press the button again. The

display will revert to its previous

size and the word “NORMA ” will

appear on the bottom of the

display for five seconds.

The button has a second function: mirroring the live video feed. The ability

to mirror video is useful only when it is necessary to read text (such as a serial

number) using an optional high-performance probe outfitted with a mirrored

viewing tip. The effect of the double mirroring is to make the text readable,

as shown below.

To mirror the video feed, press the button, hold it for three seconds, and

then release the button. The live video feed will then switch to a mirror image

of itself with the letter “M” at the top right of the screen. The mirroring and

the “M” will remain until the next time the button is pressed and held for

three seconds.

To view the video from the camera probe on a larger display, such as a

television or computer monitor, plug the mini-stereo plug at one end of the

supplied video cable into the AV out jack (labeled “TV”) on the top of the

DCS1100. Plug either the yellow or white RCA plug at the other end of the cable

into the “Video In” jack of your TV or monitor. The video will appear both on the

TV or computer monitor and on the DCS1100’s display. The only difference

between the two displays is that video sent to an external monitor cannot be

zoomed or mirrored.

MAINTENANCE TIPS

The Switchable Front/Side View Probe contains thin wires running along its

entire length. Accordingly, handle it with care.

• Do not bend it more than 90° anywhere along its length.

• Do not bend the probe more than 70° within 30mm (1.2 in.) of its

camera tip.

• Do not bundle the probe into a tight circle to store it.

• Never use the camera end to clear its own path of debris.

• Do not overtighten the collar that secures the probe to the handle.

The DCS1100 handle requires no routine maintenance other than periodic

cleaning. To clean it, use a soft dry cloth. Never use a wet cloth, solvents or

water.

If your video display has spots, gently clean the camera head with a soft,

dry cloth.

Avoid leaving the handle in direct sunlight for long periods of time.

Whenever the DCS1100 will not be used for long periods of time, remove the

batteries and store the instrument in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place.
